10/10
Тихоня / An Cailín Ciúin [The Quiet Girl] (Colm Bairéad, 2022)
Catherine Clinch, Carrie Crowley, Andrew Bennett
тихий хит года
9/10

Woody Harrelson, Charlbi Dean, Dolly de Leon, Harris Dickinson, Zlatko Burić, Vicki Berlin
социально-сатирический опус с мизантропическим уклоном
6/10
Варяг / The Northman (Robert Eggers, 2022)
Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke
неплохо, но не хватило хронометража и/или бюджета для эпичности, размах на «Властелина колец»
6/10
Бардо / Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (Alejandro Iñárritu, 2022)
Daniel Giménez Cacho, Griselda Siciliani, Ximena Lamadrid, Íker Sánchez Solano
противоречивый как жизнь фильм, поднимающий вопросы бытия (и отдельно американо-мексиканских отношений), здесь много разговоров — отца с дочерью, сыном и женой, конкистадором Кортесом, или пограничником в конце, но пара моментов шок-контента почти гробят этот визуальный шедевр, минут 15 (из 174) вырезать и будет хит!
6/10
М3ГАН / M3GAN (Gerard Johnstone, 2022)
Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald
«я киборг и это нормально», киберпанк-ужастик на вечер на тему 'cможет ли 'Ex Machina' заменить детям родителей?'
5/10
Топ Ган: Мэверик / Top Gun: Maverick (Joseph Kosinski, 2022)
Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Monica Barbaro
красивая обёртка и касса over 1,5 млрд, но не цепляет, было бы гораздо интереснее увидеть с теми же героями опусы «Escape from Afghanistan» или «Put an end to the Nord Stream», например
3/10
Солнце моё / Aftersun (Charlotte Wells, 2022)
Paul Mescal, Frankie Corio, Celia Rowlson-Hall
'не верю'
1/10
Всё везде и сразу / Everything Everywhere All at Once (Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, 2022)

And do not forget the most important thing is that you have fun!
For our 28th anniversary, we decided to break the trip from Portland to our place in Idaho (9 hours, give or take, less if you're the one who gets to sleep) by stopping at Baker City in far eastern Oregon; booking a suite at the magnificent 1889 Geiser Grand Hotel; enjoying a fine dinner at the hotel; and taking a carriage ride through Baker City's quiet neighborhoods as dusk turned to evening. Our stay was everything we'd hoped for, and more. Thank you, Frank!
Baker City boomed at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th. A gold rush in the Blue Mountains (seen here in the background), farming and ranching all contributed to Baker City's prosperity. Then the town entered into a profound economic decline.
Today, Baker City's again a thriving regional business center. Isolated as they are from cities in Oregon and Idaho, people in and around Baker City come to Baker City's downtown to shop. Consequently, there's a welcome variety of merchants, something you don't find in small towns closer to cities such as Portland. Last but not least, as far as I could tell, the Big Box retailers (you know who you are) have passed Baker City by in their relentless quest to suck the life out of small-town America's historic downtowns. A hex and a pox on all of you!
What does that mean for the traveler? Well, for anyone who's interested in period architecture and/or Small-Town America, the downtown has an abundance of virtually pristine period storefronts of brick, stone, or brick and stone. There are also a few examples of 20's brick-and-terra-cotta architecture, and even an Art Deco high rise, probably commercial construction's final grand gesture as prosperity trickled away.
With a few exceptions that aren't nearly as bad as they could be, the storefronts on the High Street escaped the weird and disfiguring facelifts that were so popular in the middle decades of the last century. The central business district is unusual also in that there are relatively few vacant lots, the bane of most "old towns."
The large brick building that dominates this photo through a gap in our suite's curtains is The Antlers. Long abandoned, the former hotel still bears its name proudly and in a lovely period font. Frankly, "The Antlers" is such a perfect name for a western hotel that, if it didn't already exist, someone would have to invent it.
I'd hoped our traveling companion, Dot the Cat, would take to the suite at the Geiser Grand like Eloise at The Plaza, but it just didn't happen. I can't say Dot the Cat actively disliked her stay at the Geiser Grand but, unlike our late cat Lucy, Dot wasn't able to sack out for the duration on one of the hotel's comfy chairs after doing a thorough perimeter check (it was a always kick watching butch old Lucy march methodically around the room until she was satisfied it was clear) and having a snack.
Sure, Dot enjoyed lolling about in the sunshine on the the carpet during the late afternoon and, busybody that she is, Dot was fascinated by everything - animal, human and mechanical - she saw through this window. To her credit, Dot didn't have a crying jag while we were out, or order room service or pay-per-view.
I think the reason Dot couldn't settle down was she sensed the suite's previous canine and feline occupants in some form of cat Technicolor I'm very glad I don't have. I bet Dot stayed up most of the night pacing the room so she wouldn't be caught sleeping if that terrifying Malamute or difficult Siamese who overnighted there last month decided to make a sudden return.
The history of Piazza delle Erbe in Verona told by a protagonist
Verona is a beautiful city, rich in history (Shakespeare hath set some works), monuments and traditions. Without having to resort to the beam of the Arena, which dates back to the first century after Christ, we must remember the ancient cathedral of San Zeno, Juliet's house, the Tower Lamberti, Castelvecchio, Roman amphitheater to name only the best known. Then the feast of dumplings, which provides for the appointment of a king, a tradition that endures, where the gaiety of Verona is at its highest degree. Verona I (known by the nickname of great lords for their opulence of their monuments) are also rich in humanity, as can be seen by visiting one of the most picturesque squares Italian, immortalized in many paintings by various artists. Let's talk about Piazza delle Erbe, in the center a stone's throw from the elegant Via Mazzini. The square is surrounded by monuments such as the sixteenth column with the Lion of St. Mark, the fountain of Madonna Verona 1368, a kiosk sixteenth century, the so-called Sedan, which in ancient times was used for public ceremonies of investiture, a characteristic of the fifteenth century tabernacle cuspidato , the imposing Torre Lamberti, the tallest building in the city (83 meters), the Town Hall where you will find the famous bells call Rengo and Marangona. Each of these, in past centuries, had a specific task: the chimes of the first served to convoke the assembly of the people, those in the second were reporting fires (like the current bell of the fire) and, not least, the ' beginning and end of daily activities. activities of daily living, such as grocery shopping, are the main feature of the Piazza delle Erbe, hit by a bombing during the First World War, in 1915. Piazza delle Erbe is the heart of Verona, the His Roman Forum, the square of the medieval period. It is in this square is the market for centuries; took place there in ancient times the arengo, the meeting of the people, when the sound of Rengo called all citizens at the meeting to elect the magistrates (first experience of communal democracy) and under the capital gathered the elected representatives of the free municipalities. since then many changes have taken place: the old wooden huts that housed the various merchants have been replaced by white umbrellas, which we can see in many paintings; Unfortunately, their numbers are dwindling, there are currently just over thirty compared to 150 recorded in the early twentieth century, greatly reducing the types of goods displayed for sale. At this point, we should know more about the market held in the square . We ask Daniela Venturinelli, Tour of dried fruit, a former president of the valets of Piazza delle Erbe. Behold how he responds to our curiosity. "Once in the square they sold everything: animals, poultry and game, clothing, shoes, flowers, fruit and vegetables, baskets and plastic items, soft drinks, toys and everything needed for daily life. There were also crafts such as knife sharpener and other small crafts. There were also bakers each day, with their desks furniture, provided fresh bread and fragrant. I said mobile workstations because the ancient statutes and an agreement with the University of citizens stipulated that the banks had to be mobile and easily repaired, at most, by a curtain or a mat. Only in 1548 the Council authorized the coverage of banks with axes for greater stability and even greater beauty, and above all clean. In 700 a large part of the square is occupied by stalls house, stable and - in fact - quite ugly to look at, until, in 1760, the project is implemented, studied for a long time, which provided partial clearing of the square. Reappear as the benches and furniture, with the Austrian domination, it involves a more careful supervision of exact and strict provisions of goods. Unique marble bench was called "prey fish" (stone fish) now placed where the beautiful woman tends Girelli the sword. " A literary quote:'' 800 in the middle of the brothers De Goncourt, seeing the umbrellas from ' top of the tower, thus describing the square, "Down under white canvas umbrellas, traversed by the light, breaks the kaleidoscope of shawls and headphones of costermongers, such as cornflowers and poppies, green fields of lettuce, leeks, cabbages lying to their feet. " Let's go back to our interlocutor. The market under umbrellas today how are you? "We were really very few. In the place that I am, for 45 years there was a tour of fruits and vegetables that was set on fire. I in 1981, I abandoned the contract work to open the current bench. " What was the first bank established the square? "As I understand it, one of the first to start business in 1890 was to" Fruit and vegetables - Martini cav. Lorenzo "and as they followed other piers, creating a thriving business. Historical research talk about 150 stalls until a few years ago that ran a bit 'at a time. Now we were thirty. " How do you explain such a small number? "From what I could learn from those who came before but it seems that the market was booming until the end of World War II. Then gradually to various factors, there has been a slow decline. Among the negative aspects of this "decline", it should be emphasized that Piazza delle Erbe, in the '80s, it is filled with a bunch of junkies that caused all sorts of turmoil and held in the open air their shady activities. Also burned stands, dissuading many posteggianti to continue the business. A few, including the speaker, had the courage in those years to start a job that involved a lot of risks. " the most assiduous frequenters of the square? "Without a doubt the tourists, who usually buy souvenirs. One type of product that has many stalls, three of which belong to the Chinese. The other exhibit fruits, vegetables and foods typical Veronese. " What sucks in the future the seller of Piazza delle Erbe? "We are in conditions of uncertainty. The City Council changes every four years, come new rules, designed for the common good of course, but do not always make it a success. The managers of the banks aspire to greater security for the performance of activities. If this space environmental unfortunately missing, for the reasons stated, Va. Verona would take away a part of his soul and the ancient traditions that, over the centuries, have kept alive and vibrant this beautiful city. "

deckerao05: Absolutely! My daughter is everything animals, obsessed with elephants. My theory is the animals don't speak. She is verbal but she would much rather be quiet often covering our mouths to make us quiet.
loladoom: My son puts his forehead on every animal at the Petting Zoo! Or any friendly dog, cat, or animal we encounter. It's one of my top 10 favorite things about him. ☺❤
nemadestiny: @loladoom oh bless him that's lovely
nemadestiny: @deckerao05 sorry I forgot to tag you in my reply above !!!
deckerao05: Gotcha
linden_ca: Sweetness!
Took photos of a Kingfisher after it caught it's food, expected it to eat it but it leaves it and flies off, a Kingfisher did eventually fly back in for it, but as it didn't photograph it I wasn't sure if it was the same one who originally caught it.
It was a privilege being able to witness the Kingfisher diving into the water and coming back out with a meal for itself.
Sa Đéc, Mekong Delta, Viet Nam
The largest such market on the Mekong River, this was quite the experience. Partly open air, partly a crowded covered jumble with motorbikes whizzing through, everything animal and vegetable produced in southeast Asia was offered. It seemed to me that it was both wholesale and retail with lots bagged for resale. Get ready for what I saw including all types of fruit, snakes and other live animals, dressed rats and more.
When I first moved to the desert nine years ago, I recall thinking that everything, animal and plant alike, was designed with one purpose in mind- to kill me. Rattlesnakes, scorpions, tarantulas, bobcats, mountain lions, javelina... not to mention innumerable forms of cacti. All ready to bite, sting, claw or stab.
Now, nine years later, I still feel the same way. I've just gotten better at avoiding injury. It really is a cool place to live!

my concept was location. I thought it was a broad topic that could be interpreted in many ways. As I was taking pictures, i decided that many of the pictures had human influenced things and places, so that's what I built on. My first picture is of a small patch of thawing snow, with leaves and a small, drainage pipe. The picture is very natural looking, but human activity has changed the specific place. My second photo is of a small creek with a large chunk of ice. The creek is beautiful, and the ice is natural, but the creek is man made. My third picture is of A icy lake, with a large hill in the background, but with large houses scattering the shoreline. My fourth picture is different. It is of a concrete wall with a hand framing a small hole. This photo shows how humans change all sorts of things, even our own places. My last picture if of a compass on a wing, the compass is framing and arrow,(Which is north). This photo represents how humans travel everywhere, and take control of everything, animals included. Humans like to take things and adapt them to their own wills. You can do whatever you want to do, but these photos show what is means to be a human, but don't necessarily represent you.
